I’ve waited long enough…I say it’s officially slow cooker season here in the States! Time to drag those old Rival crock pots or fancy slow cookers out from the back shelves and get busy making some of the easiest and tastiest paleo family meals ever!

If you’re like me, your fall calendar is filling up fast. The holidays are coming and our to-do list seems to get longer by the day. That’s why it’s nice this time of year to have a “set it and forget it” slow-cooked meal waiting for you once in awhile so you can relax after a long day.

Just throw everything in your crock pot or slow cooker and let it simmer. It’s done when the spicy beef is tender and shreds easily. This one smells and good as it looks too!

Paleo meal planning can change your life. Believe it or not, I don’t like to cook every day. I work weekdays like a lot of you, and I know stay-at-home moms are just as busy!

All it takes is a little extra effort and you can give yourself at least a day or two off from heavy kitchen duty during your workweek. I always try to make a big meal on Sundays along with a batch of egg muffins or paleo pancakes I can freeze for the next week.

This slow-cooked paleo spicy beef paleo recipe can keep you happy for days. Here’s a real easy meal prep idea…just grab some greens, spoon on the shredded beef, layer on a little salsa, throw in a few cherry tomatoes, and top it with a some guacamole and a sprinkle of sliced radishes for crunch. Took this beauty to work and I was the envy of my office lunch room. :)

Like most of the important things in our lives, living the paleo life is so much easier when you plan ahead.

I hope you try this awesome recipe. It’s really easy, and a little fiesta for your taste buds!

I was just at the store getting the ingredients and noticed your itemized ingredients list says to use broth but the directions say to use stock. Not sure if it’s that big of a deal but I ended up getting both. Which one do you prefer?

I purchased fresh sirloin steak from the butcher and followed the recipe step by step. My whole house smelled great and had the neighbors getting hungry! When I was eating the tacos, I was able to “taste & smell” the meat as if it were raw. I cooked it for 9.5 hours and the juices were about to dry out, so it was fully cooked through. Any help please?

I have no idea. I’m not sure how anything can taste or smell raw after cooking for 9 hrs. Maybe it was the meat? Sorry I can’t help you. This has been a very popular recipe and I’v enjoyed it many times myself with no problems.

Can you suggest an alternate for the heat? I want to make this but I have three small children who may not tolerate the spicyness. I have an idea to tweak it a little leaving out the peppers but don’t want to mess with the integrity of the dish just in case this is what makes it great. Ideas?

Sonia, I think it may have been the cooking time. Any meat that is slow cooked long enough should easily shred apart. I give general estimates of time based on my slow cooker. Yours might just need more time. If you ever have that happen again, just let it go for another hour or two. Some slow cookers are just that. Slow.

Holy Smokes this was delicious! I doubled the recipe for our big family dinner on Sunday, and everyone LOVED it. When the meat was done I took it all out and took an immersion blender to the remaining liquid in the crock pot, and it made a killer gravy, then I put the shredded meat back in. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.

I don’t really do the paleo thing but had to try this recipe. And so glad I did! Didn’t deviate from the recipe but served it like street tacos on corn tortillas with onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice so amazing! Will definitely be making this again.

You sure can…use a big soup pot or stockpot. Keep it covered and go low and slow with it. I haven’t tried it in the oven myself or I’d give you temperatures and cooking times…you’ll just have to experiment a little and keep an eye on it and it should turn out just fine! :)

Most grocery stores have it in regular section of the store. If you can’t find it just ask the butcher. I do this sometimes when I want a fresh or special cut of meat and they are always happy to help!

After a holiday full of cakes, cookies and other junk food, my husband requested something healthy and delicious. We try to eat healthy (or what we thought was healthy) but that usually meant opening the bag of whole wheat tortillas instead of white. Well, absolutely no more packaged tortillas for us! These tacos were phenomenal! I had to show my husband the recipe so he could see for himself that there was no packaged tortillas or powdered taco seasoning involved! (powdered taco seasoning is another thing i’ll be tossing out of our diet) Cant wait to explore more of your paleo recipes. We are hooked! Thanks so much for the recipe!

Oh my gosh! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate reviews like yours. I can really appreciate you trying to make foods that are healthier for your family. It’s so great to hear it was well received. I think there is a misconception that healthy means less flavor. So NOT true. I hope you find more recipes for you and your hubby to enjoy. Just making a couple of healthy meals a week means your on your way. High five! and thank you so much for your kind words. :) Trina

Have the roast in the crock pot now and it smells really great! Just made the avocado sauce in my blender and it’s my first time making a sauce in there. Turned out great! My cilantro is still a bit bigger than in your picture, but we won’t mind that. Thanks for posting this great recipe!

This is delicious! The house smelled wonderful all day and I couldn’t wait to eat dinner. I wasn’t so sure about the hot peppers, but the heat was a good amount of heat and it faded quickly. This recipe made enough to feed 2 grown ups and a teenage boy, and we have leftovers for my husband to take to work and for my son for a snack. My son and I ate this with the tortillas and my husband had paleo naan, as eggs don’t always agree with him. I shredded some carrots and chopped some raw spinach and added them to the tacos, so I could “hide” some veggies in the meal. Thank you!

Hi Staci! I’m doing a happy dance! I can’t tell you how excited I get when the whole family enjoys our recipe. And you added more veggies! Way to go! :) I hope you find a few more recipes for your “boys”. :)

Be careful with those slow cookers!!!! High is usually way to hot. My Hamilton beach on low was a tad to hot, not sure about the warm setting. Check the temps on your brand, otherwise you’ll be trying to salvage what could’ve been a fabulous meal
